Re: [OT] Hacking a screwed up 3C17701 (4924) from GNU/Linux



Hello,
If you can connect to the serial console, just type recover as a login and recover as a password.
You now have 30 seconds to power off and power on the switch.
Then, it will ask you for a new admin password.
Hope this help, regards,
Igor.

Hello Guys,

I have a bunch of 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4924  (3C17701)  and  one  of
them was used at a customer which has gotten probems with there Sysadmin

Now gotten the Switch back and...  I am fucked!

I can not use the switch anymore and it seems to be password protected.

Now, i the hope the Setings where cleared, I installed the  3Com  Update
Utility under WINE and updated to the latest Firmware 4.22...

Fsck!  --  I can not access the Switch, even if the 3Com Update  Utility
has found the Switch on COM1.

Also I hae used NMAP to find the IP Address to access the  Web-Interface
but failed.

Now contacting the crappy HP support (they have eaten 3Com)  I  can  not
get any support, because the waranty runed out on october last year.

They do not even help me to recover the password...

This mean, a perfectly woking Switch for 5000 Euro is for the bin.

One thing is clear, I will never buy HP Products!

So, is there someone, which can help me to recover the Switch?

Oh, I have tried to install the 3Com Network Manager, but  it  complains
about a missing Winsock under WINE!  Any help?

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
   Michelle Konzack
